Potential trade destinations for Lowry: Dec.12 - NY a match?

[Blacklash2k4]

Noone is thinking Lowry offers a long term solution to anyone.

Exactly my point. Why would GS give up Barnes unless it's for a first round pick? That's why I don't think Lowry for Barnes straight up is gonna be on the table despite everyone wanting it.

Not confirmed and still lots of work to do, but Woj and others have tweeted about the possible deal.. Thoughts\Ideas?

1.) Shump had a knee/knee collision in his last game and we should hope he's not injured.
2.) If we get Shump/Hardaway for Lowry that is a GODDAMN FLEECING even if we have to take Felton.
3.) But seriously, we don't want Felton, he's a terrible locker-room presence and although he would help the tank, there are better ways of doing it then bringing a cancer on board.
4.) But if New York is willing to give up Shump or Hardaway, I think a three-team trade is very doable.

If Masai can nab us Barnes or rondo somehow just give him executive of the year key to the city and throw a parade!

Any trade with the Knicks will be to help them get better since they can't win against any team right now. We need them out of the lottery so we can tank for a top 5. If we trade with the Knicks, we are officially tanking for a top 5 pick...

NY would have to include either Shumpert or Hardaway (with Felton) just to balance salary. I hope MU would go after both, to offset having to take back Felton and his 3-year contract.

Can we waive Felton?

Can we waive Felton?

We could, but his full salary would still count against the cap.

Okay I see. Thanks for the clarification!

Would help with the tank and avoid locker room issues?

Lowry for Felton an Hardway will not work based on ESPN trade machine so it has to be Shumpert which knicks don't want t give up.

To TO:

Hardaway Jr
cash (about 68000)

To GS:

Felton (for Rush TPE)

TO NYK:

Lowry


Works for everyone IMO. NYK might not like losing Hardaway but they need to be in win now mode.

They've been dangling Shumpert in front of anyone who'll look all year.

I'd rather keep him and hope to be able to use his contract in a future trade to acquire an even bigger contract, in the hopes of getting an additional asset in the process.

MU doesn't seem like the type of GM to dump assets, no matter how terrible they might seem on the surface.

If MU were to pull a 2-for-1 trade with NY, Buycks or Daye would need to be waived.

If MU were to pull a 3-for-1 trade with NY, Buycks & Daye would likely both be waived.

Everyone talking about getting Barnes for Lowry straight up has gone full mental, no way in hell that happens. GS has literally nothing else to offer.

If we could get Shump and Hardaway for Lowry I'd be ecstatic. Even if you don't like them as a fit on the Raptors, they are both young prospects on rookie deals with real value around the league.

Even getting Plumlee from Brooklyn is preferable to the nothing that GS can offer.

Hopefully the Bulls, Heat, Pacers, and Bucks work their way into the conversation.

As Jamshid pointed out, a trade for Felton & Hardway won't work financially. It needs to be Felton & Shumpert (at least).
